Between November 20, 2017 and January 30, 2018, PO Filocalia conducted its 7th charity campaign “Be a Santa for someone”. The aim of this event was to help as many socially vulnerable people as possible by developing the concept “Gift from gift”, and to remind those who do not lack things that there are people who need their support. It is not complicated to do good and it is not necessary to be millionaires to help others, it is important to want this and to be emphatic and sensitive to other’s problems. All the donors of our campaign have shown that the problem of poverty is something they are aware of and they want to involve and be part of our project. With their help, we were able to do more than we have initially planned. Thus, the beneficiaries of the Campaign were 550 children, 85 needy families, 70 elderly from the following localities: Costeşti, Ialoveni; Coşniţa, Dubăsari; Congaz, Comrat; Hârbovăţ, Călăraşi; Zgurita, Drochia; Drăguşeni, Străşeni; Cotiujenii Mari, Soldanesti; Salcuta, Causeni; Chiperceni, Orhei.

At 25 of January, we have visited children from the Center ,,Lucic solnte’’ from Congaz village, in the South of our country. The volunteers of Filocalia have organized a winter master class, attended by 15 beneficiaries of the center. The children made handmade works: tissue snowmen and paper dears, winter cards and also participated to a very creative joint work. At the end, the little masters received sweet gifts. At the same time, 12 families with many children received packs of food, toys and small gifts for babies. We were glad seeing in the eyes of little children and parents a spark of hope and joy.

During the winter holidays, we have organized the beautiful campaign “Be a Santa for someone”, where we offered support and tried to bring a smile on the faces of many sad people from the rural areas of our country. We could not have done this without the help of great people who deserve all our appreciation and admiration. Thus, we thank a lot the official sponsor of our campaign -“from Costești village, Ialoveni region, Elena Maxim, Tatiana Lupacescu, Corina Sansonnene, Semira Tauzi, Marcia Daenzer and the Diaspora from Switzerland, Gheorghe and Elena Diaconu, Tatiana and Natalia Zaporojeț, Cristina Cobîlaș, Corina Erşov, Cristina Ciobanu, Bogdan Ciobanu and Alina Loboda and the Diaspora from Belgium, Igor and Elena Popov, Alexei and Mihaela Ursachi, Elena Munteanu, Dmitrii and Iulia Teterea, Galina Midoni, Ecaterina and Lidia Bivol for the financial donations, cloths, shoes, toys and sweets. And because there many people who wanted to be part of this big campaign, and donated more than we initially expected, PO “Filocalia” has decided to extend the Charity campaign until the end of January 2018.

During the winter holidays PO Filocalia went with gifts to the beneficiaries from the village of Costesti, Ialoveni region. So, Santa filled his bag with gifts, toys, fruits, food and hygienic products, and went to those who were waiting for him. Children sang beautiful carols to the delight of our old Santa. Of course, children but also elderly enjoyed the small gifts.
